Pros

Worked there for several years, great company, great people....lots of talents. I always had great performance reviews, I worked hard and loved my job.

Cons

IT Management changed and brought in HP's culture. Rules with an iron fist and threatens staff that their job is on the line. People are stressed and some are close to having a nervous breakdown. CEO knows that there is a problem but nothing is done as long as IT keeps on producing.

Pros

Great experience and well known chemical manufacturing, minimal layoff since org continuously runs lean, in office environment with heavy commute for most

Cons

Lower pay offering versus their competitors in chemical commodities or O&G, long hours expected for salary employees, extremely lean organization
